86-15 Rockaway Boulevard, Queens, NY 11416

86-15 Rockaway Boulevard is a 4-story, 20-unit residential building located in Ozone Park, constructed in 2020 and owned by Devinder Singh. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, particularly evident in late 2024 with building-wide and apartment-specific complaints in December, as well as multiple complaints throughout 2023 including violations issued in October 2023 for inadequate heat and hot water service.

Additionally, there have been several safety concerns, with open violations as of 2023-2024 related to smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and access to the building's heating system. A notable water leak complaint from March 2024 and an appliance issue from December 2023 were recorded, though inspectors were unable to gain access to the affected areas during these inspections. The building's construction period in 2019-2020 saw several Department of Buildings (DOB) complaints and violations, including multiple construction safety compliance issues, inadequate housekeeping concerns, and scaffold safety violations, all of which were subsequently resolved.

During this period, several permits were issued and re-issued for various construction phases, including foundation work and equipment installation. Since then, the building has maintained a clean record with regards to bedbug infestations, with all three annual reports (2023-2025) indicating zero infested units. While some violations remain open as of the latest inspection dates, particularly regarding safety equipment and heating systems, the majority of historical complaints and violations from the construction period have been addressed and closed.
